Multiply the weight in tonnes by the conversion factor ( 1 tonne = 1000 kg) to get the weight in kg's:
170 tonnes x 1000 = 170,000
Now convert to scientific notation, by moving the decimal point to have only 1 digit to the left of the decimal.
To do this, you would need to move the decimal 5 places to the left to get 1.70000
Now remove the 0's and multiply the number by 10 raised to the number of paces the decimal was moved to get:
1.7 x 10^5 kg's.
If the side lengths of B are 2x as long as the side lengths of A then the volume of B should be the volume of A^2
216^2=46,656
46,656-216=46,440
This can be more easily displayed with smaller numbers
If cube X were 2*2*2 then the volume would be 8
If cube Y were 4*4*4 then the volume would be 64
8(volume of cube X)^2=64(volume of cube Y)
The slope of 6x + 2y = 4 is
y = -3x + 2
2(3x-4) = 5x+6
First, expand the bracket.
6x-8=5x+6
Next, move the variables to the same side.
x-8=6
Move the -8 to the other side, change to +
x=6+8
x=14
Charlie’s solution is incorrect. When expanding the bracket, he changed the - to a +.
